THE FIONA FOUNDATION CHARITABLE APPEAL TRUST 

The foundation fund raises and helps charities within the UK as agreed by the trustees and in line with our founding principle of supporting charitable organisations that were either close to Fiona' s heart or from which she benefitted in her lifetime . For example we provide grants by way of scholarships to female undergraduates in chemical engineering at Newcastle University.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
